The rear temperature knob and the rear blower speed can
be adjusted as desired by the second seat occupants.
Automatic Temperature Control — If Equipped
The Infrared Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
System automatically maintains the interior comfort level
desired by the driver and all passengers. This is accom-
plished by using two infrared sensors, located in the
center of the instrument panel. The two infrared sensors
independently measure the surface temperature of the
driver and passenger. Based on the sensor input, the
system automatically adjusts the air temperature, the air
flow volume, and amount of outside air recirculation.
This maintains a comfortable temperature even under
changing conditions. Operation of the system is quite simple. Begin by press-
ing the auto rocker switch to the “HI” or “LO” position,
the word “AUTO” will illuminate in the front ATC
display along with “HI” or “LO”. The system will then
automatically regulate the amount of air flow. Next, dial
in the temperature you would like the system to maintain
by pressing the driver’s or passenger’s temperature con-
trol button. The rear temperature can only be adjusted
from the front when the “REAR SYSTEM” knob on the
Three-Zone Automatic Temperature Control
UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 289

front ATC unit is in the “AUTO” position. Once the
desired temperature is displayed, the system will achieve
and maintain that comfort level automatically. When the
system is set up for your comfort level, it is not necessary
to change the settings. You will experience the greatest
efficiency by simply allowing the system to function
automatically.
NOTE:
•It is not necessary to move the temperature settings for
cold or hot vehicles. The system automatically adjusts
the temperature, mode and fan speed to provide
comfort as quickly as possible.
•The temperature can be displayed in U.S. or Metric by
selecting the US/M customer programmable feature.
Refer to the “Overhead Console-Customer Program-
mable Features” in Section 3 of this manual. To provide you with maximum comfort in the automatic
mode, during cold start-ups the blower fan will remain
off and “DELAY” will appear in the front ATC display
until the engine warms up. Also, an estimate of the time
remaining until the “DELAY” is over will appear peri-
odically in the display. However, the fan will engage
immediately if the defrost mode is selected or by rotating
the blower control to any fixed blower speed.
This feature may be disabled using the following proce-
dure:
•Press and hold the Heated Rear Window and Auto LO
buttons for 5 seconds.
•The “DELAY” symbol will flash to indicate that the
feature as been disabled.

The Rear Automatic Temperature Control System has
floor air outlets to the rear of the right side sliding door
and overhead outlets at each outboard rear seating
position. The system provides heated air through the
floor outlets or cool, dehumidified air through the head-
liner outlets. The “REAR SYSTEM” knob for the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control System is on the front ATC control
unit located on the instrument panel.
Selecting the “AUTO” position for the Rear Automatic
Temperature Control System from the front ATC control
unit, illuminates a “LOCK” symbol in the rear display.
The rear temperature and air source are controlled from
the front ATC control unit.
The “REAR SYSTEM” knob on the front ATC control unit
has three positions, “REAR CONTROL”, “OFF”, and
“AUTO”. Only when the “REAR SYSTEM” knob is in the
“REAR CONTROL” position do the second seat occu-
pants have control of the Rear Automatic Temperature
Control System.
The Rear Automatic Temperature Control System is
located in the headliner near the center of the vehicle.
